Ticked off! @noisy restaurants

I am ticked off that the Florida Gators only managed to score 55 points against powerhouse Long Island University in their home opener. They managed to beat the spread by 10 points against a football team that would be hard pressed to defeat Winter Park High School. Meanwhile Florida State took a steamroller to Alabama. Maybe Florida can schedule a more worthy opponent next season. How about Creighton!?
The last few times I went out to dinner with my friends we could not hear each other talking in the restaurant.  First restaurant was a Mexican restaurant in Altamonte Springs.  You could hear the loud music even in the parking lot. The second restaurant was a grill restaurant in Apopka.  The music again was way too loud. We will never go back to either one of them. These restaurants are probably open for dinner from 5 to 10.  Maybe they should have the music at a lower level from say 5 to 7 when seniors and families are dining out and then at a higher level from 7 to 10 for the younger crowd.
I agree the giggly woman Spectrum ad is the most annoying one on TV.
Instead of coming here to complain about loud music in restaurants, please please go to their Google review page and complain. Maybe if enough of us write negative reviews, they will do something. This also includes stores. You’re not enhancing the ambiance, you’re just annoying the heck out of most of us.
I am ticked off at Terry Crews’s long, unnecessary delays when announcing winners on America’s Got Talent. The wasted time would be better spent showing another performance or running another insipid lawyer commercial.

The flip side

Thank you to Emily who took our order at Mooyah burger restaurant south of downtown. She was so patient when I was ordering as there were so many selections to choose from. Their Certified Angus Beef burgers are very juicy and flavorful. She provided excellent customer service.
